Excellent little addon. LOVE the checklist, very thorough. Would like to see a little popup descriptor for each setting. Inaccurately reported session identifiers and tls fast_start setting as its opposite.

Suddenly it stopped display notifications to me. I need to hover on the extension to see my spoofing settings everytime i open Firefox. Before it always displayed information about OS, Screen resolution etc

wow ! impressive, serious work. thanks.a lot of options, very good documentation, with guidelines and explaination for each.I will try it for some time and update my review if needed, but I'm pretty confident it will not be necessary :-)I am now allegedly browsing with chrome on an iPhone with a 1-meter-wide screen resolution, ... for the next hour, at least. priceless.thanks again

Usually i dont like to install any add on that isnt a must have. After testing Chameleon i found out that this is one of the must haves!

I have changed a lot of about:config settings, but i did roll back network.http.referer.XOriginPolicy and etwork.http.referer.trimmingPolicy. I hope those are the 2 most important one to set back to default(?)

If you toggled the prevent etag tracking feature, that's intended. If the if-none-match header for caching, it won't work because Chameleon prevents the browser from saving that information for future requests.

This addons have a big bug, sometimes without any reason deactivate the javascript spoof, I add the photos, chameleon is active, spoof my browser but the site can detect via javascript original SO and browser, it's a big problem this. picture:

With ras this bug is not present, it's only of chameleon, appaire that working and without any reason do not spoof.

I hope you can fix this problem. I see this bug from long time, usually i check many times in the sites if the spoof working e sometimes i find that do not working via javascript.

I really like this addon because it also has a good wiki with recommendation regarding the avaiable settings in this addons.

However I have two questions for which I did not found a clear answer:1. In the Header -> Referer section of the wiki it is noted that two options should not be set in about:config. I assume that setting these options in the user.js is also problematic?2. If these options are modified (in about:config or user.js) how does this negatively affect the addon?

Edit: Thanks to the developer for the fast answer.

1. Yes, settings those options in the user.js file is also problematic.2. The options for managing the headers are a workaround for the existing functionality in Firefox. There isn't a way to toggle those settings using the APIs available. If a user changes those options in their preferences, it may prevent Chameleon from setting the header values properly. Firefox modifies the headers before Chameleon can.

Hello. I have this add-on, and I have one question... Why are YouTube videos in mobile mode? I wanna use this add-one and watch regular YouTube videos. As of now, I have this add-on disabled. Is there anyway to fix this?
